Smart Business and Education in the Age of VUCA and BANI

In a world increasingly characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) and, more recently, brittleness, anxiety, nonlinearity, and incomprehensibility (BANI), both business and education stand at a critical crossroads. Organizations and learning institutions must now evolve to remain relevant and resilient in this turbulent landscape. The urgent need for adaptive thinking and emotional agility is essential now to navigate disruption while fostering innovation and human-centered growth. In this new era, success depends not on predicting the future, but on developing the capacity to adapt and lead through constant change. Smart Business and Education in the Age of VUCA and BANI explores how smart technologies and data-driven innovation are transforming business and education in the VUCA and BANI world. It highlights adaptive strategies, digital inclusion, and AI-driven practices in shaping sustainable and equitable futures. Covering topics such as technological advancements, business innovation, and artificial intelligence, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, researchers, business leaders, global economists, educational administrators and leaders, policymakers, educators, and more.
